That's The Way Love Goes by Merl Haggard & Jewel

A great performance during the CMA Awards 1999 Show. This live version is better than the studio one.

[@josephbryan7324]

OUTSTANDING....!!!! Merle was a classic.....they were a great combo..... Truly two All-Americans...!!! Semper Fi..!!!

[@cherriejtingen960]

"I Love this!!" Miss him so much!! Jewel is awesome too!!🩵🩷

[@rhondaboncutter5812]

My Dad and I use to sing Merle's songs, sitting on the back porch, Dad drinking a beer, me a teen! Those were special moments I'll never forget!

[@velondabe6868]

We, American's and this World, need this LOVE AGAIN, IN OUR LIVES AND THIS WORLD!!! WE NEED IT NOW!!!

[@cherriejtingen960]

"YES!!"

[@walkawayjoe]

There was nothing better than hearing Merle sing it didn't matter what song . I was totally in love with Jewel way back when

[@sandyarroyo8046]

Somewhere in my genealogy he’s supposed to be a cousin of mine I believe from the Wages side of the family. I’ve always felt close to him through his music as it’s touched my heart for over the 50 years or so. At 77 I still don’t know but I treasure his music and especially this song.

[@davegeisler7802]

I’m glad Jewel had an opportunity to sing with Merle , they were perfect 🤩

[@williamnorrey5528]

They say never meet your heroes, jewel met hers and made memories that will last a lifetime what a beautiful duet 💕 fly high merle 🙌

[@kevinh1019]

This song kicked my ass as a teenager. Now it is even better doubling it up with Jewel. VERY GOOD!

[@kenarms4364]

Two people who had it hard growing up and triumphed. Beautiful. Merle's voice was better than ever here. When he drops down to the low bass range on the last part of the word "life" at the 54 second mark I get chills.

[@tamilapp4944]

Love, love.... we need more of this...different genres forgetting asinine political differences and just enjoying and reveling in each other's artistic work.

[@donriley3349]

I was fortunate (?) to be visiting my brother at Shasta Lake City, California...eight miles away from Merle's Ranch, when he passed on April 6th. The entire community of Lake Shasta, and neighboring Redding, and Red Bluff, mourn his death. He was a "local", and everyone here gave Merle his privacy, whether at the Market, Lulu's Restaurant in Redding, of Lake Shasta Dam, where he loved fishing for bass. My brother and sister in law were very lucky a year ago, to be eating at Lulu's for breakfast, with Merle at his favorite table. They waited til Merle finished his pancakes, biscuits and gravy, and was sipping his coffee, when brother went over and c hatted briefly with the great man. He allowed them to take pictures together with him. Classy, humble, and loved his fans as much as his music. I wish I could share these two photographs, with my bro and sis with everyone. It is Merle, older, and grayer, but still with a twinkle in his eye. He shines in our family album now.

Lots of people on here dissing Jewel, I believe most of you haven't heard her sing anything else. I suggest you find some of her many videos on youtube and don't judge by 1 song. She is really a very talented singer.

Yap, but not country at all...
